Running Primary and Secondary Research

Taranjit structures investment research by combining direct primary interviews with specialists and customers alongside secondary data from third-party sources. He does not rely on one channel alone. This pattern showed up at InSync Analytics, where he ran interviews with specialized doctors and product customers to validate demand signals for AI-driven healthcare products, then layered in secondary research to fill gaps. When primary findings diverge from the initial thesis, he treats the divergence as a signal rather than noise, assessing whether the product is a niche play, mapping the addressable market more precisely, and deciding whether to revisit or move on. The result is research that is grounded in real-world demand signals, not just financial projections.

Forming and Revising Investment Theses

Taranjit builds investment theses from scratch and revises them when the evidence shifts. He does not hold a view past the point where the data stops supporting it. His independent analysis of quick commerce in India showed this pattern clearly: he built an initial thesis around dark store expansion and category growth, then revised it when capital requirements and profitability dynamics did not match his early projections. At Acuity, he applied the same discipline to portfolio monitoring, forming hold or exit recommendations based on financial performance and product development trajectory rather than anchoring to the original investment rationale. The pattern across both contexts is a willingness to update the thesis when the evidence demands it, and to document the reasoning behind the revision.

Building Financial Models and Valuations

Taranjit builds financial models from scratch using company-reported financials, covering income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow, and uses them to assess investment potential and form valuations. At InSync Analytics, he builds models for global fund clients covering both public and private market companies, including forecasting and scenario analysis to assess whether a company represents a viable investment opportunity. He has also built two to three page investment theses grounded in financial modeling, covering company products, management history, segment positioning, and financial trajectory. The modeling work sits at the center of his research process: it is how he moves from qualitative research findings to a structured investment view.
